Thiruvananthapuram: Housing project in limbo, families left waiting
The Thanal Housing Project in Thiruvananthapuram remains stalled, leaving nearly 100 families awaiting permanent housing despite receiving technical sanction in August 2025. Fresh technical and cost-related hurdles have delayed construction, which is crucial for relocating nearby slaughterhouses. The newly elected BJP-led corporation council plans to conduct a detailed review to determine the next steps for the ₹20 crore project, which aims to rehabilitate families from the Vikalanga Colony.
